J&K lags in higher education enrolment: Centre
Srinagar, Aug 6: Jammu & Kashmir's Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education stood at 21.5 per cent during 2023 to 24, significantly lower than the national average of 30 per cent, the Union Ministry of Education informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. The information was shared in a written reply by Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar, based on the findings of the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) 2023 to 24. The data showed that J&K performed better than neighbouring Ladakh, which recorded a GER of 11.9 per cent. However, the Union Territory remained behind several states, including Himachal Pradesh at 46.4 per cent, Punjab at 30.8 per cent, Haryana at 35.1 per cent and Delhi at 53 per cent. Bihar reported 17.7 per cent, while Puducherry topped the country with 72.3 per cent. Replying to the question in the Upper House, the Minister said the National Education Policy, 2020 envisages raising the country's GER in higher education to 50 per cent by 2035 through expansion of institutions and reforms in the education system. He said the Centre has taken several measures to improve access to higher education, particularly in educationally underserved regions. Since 2014 to 15, eight Central Universities, seven IITs, eight IIMs, 16 IIITs, two IISERs, one NIT and 12 AIIMS have been established across the country. The government is also implementing scholarship and fellowship schemes for students belonging to SC, ST, OBC, minority and other disadvantaged sections. Besides, initiatives such as SWAYAM, online and distance learning, flexible admissions, multiple entry and exit provisions, and the option to pursue two academic programmes simultaneously are aimed at improving enrolment. The Minister informed the House that the Pradhan Mantri Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan, launched in 2023 with an outlay of Rs 12,926.10 crore for 2023 to 24 to 2025 to 26 and extended till March 31, 2028, gives priority to districts with low enrolment and poor gender parity. The scheme supports development of hostels, laboratories, smart classrooms and digital libraries. He further said the approved expansion of IIT Jammu, along with four other newer IITs, under the 2025 to 26 Union Budget involves an investment of Rs 11,828.79 crore and will create capacity for an additional 6,500 students. The 2026 to 27 Union Budget has also proposed five university townships near major industrial and logistics corridors and one girls' hostel in every district to encourage higher education, particularly in STEM courses.
